Through this program, the Intera gency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) seeks to:\n\n - train early career scientists (ECS) with the communication skills needed to engage with various audiences, from non-scientists to researchers from other disciplin es, and to collaborate with researchers from fields and sectors other than their own,\n - engage them in the research policy process,\n - facilitate c onnection with Federal program managers and senior researchers, and\n - giv e an opportunity to present their work without the expense of traveling to a conference.IARPC seeks eight ECS to enroll in this, the second cohort of this program. The ECSs will identify a collaboration team of interest, part icipate in and contribute to IARPC Collaboration’s work, and produce a “lig htning talk” about their own research to be delivered as part of the IARPC  Public Webinar Series and at a collaboration team meeting. Examples from th e previous cohort may be viewed here (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list =PLKmWPA-SFZ6vZeXgh_DZnq-5jSWFOEq-S).\nCourse Material\nThe science communi cation training program will be conducted completely live and online via Zo om webinar software (6 sessions at 2 hours each, 12 hours total over a peri od of 6 weeks).
